Echizen Ryoma's Successful Showboating

As a chorus of excited cheers rang out, Muneyoshi and Tachibana An squeezed through the crowd and saw Echizen Ryoma facing off against Hirakoba Rin.

The referee's score announcement rang out just then.

"Game, 4–2. Echizen Ryoma of Seigaku is in the lead."

"Are you playing me, yet you're distracted by someone else?"

Seeing Echizen Ryoma look toward the Fudomine group, Hirakoba Rin, standing in the receiving zone, immediately felt annoyed.

He cared about Fudomine too, but seeing Echizen act as though he didn't even take him seriously, he decided to teach that first-year
